There wasn't much talk of higher education during the governor's budget address this past week, but there was some afterwards with the State Board of Higher Education.

Illinois State University’s Director of State Government Affairs Jonathan Lackland says Education Secretary Beth Purvis held a briefing after Bruce Rauner's budget speech Wednesday.

That's for next year's budget, though. ISU President Larry Dietz (DEE-tz) is wondering where this year's budget is.

Dietz says the university has already planned a budget around a ten percent cut and it's prepared for any number of funding scenarios.
